China is cracking down on air pollution from shipping. China is the world’s busiest shipping nation but all those ships entering its ports and plying its waters are contributing to the country’s air pollution.

Every year, over 60% of the world’s seaborne cargoes and 30% of the world’s shipping containers pass through China’s ports. The country is also home to seven of the world’s top 10 ports, so shipping is becoming a major source of air pollution in its port cities, such as Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Shanghai. An estimated 18,000 premature deaths in China in 2013 were caused by air pollution from oceangoing ships.
Cross-Border E-Commerce: China Policy Update. Chinese consumers have a great demand for foreign goods and many buy these via overseas online shopping platforms or through purchasing agents.

The China E-Commerce Research Center (CECRC) predicted the number of China’s haitao shoppers[1] to increase from 18 million in 2014 to 35.6 million by 2018, with the amount spent growing from Rmb150 billion in 2014 to Rmb1 trillion in 2018. To further protect the rights and interests of consumers, improve product safety and protect state revenue, the Chinese government has introduced a number of policies on cross-border e-commerce imports since 2012 (for details, please see Mainland Cross-Border E-Commerce Opportunities for Hong Kong Businesses). China has 10 pilot cities for cross-border e-commerce, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Fuzhou and Pingtan, where business is conducted as a "bonded import" or "direct purchase import".

China keeps finding millions of people who never officially existed — Quartz. China, the country with the largest population in the world, has just found another 14 million people, equal to about one percent of its population of 1.37 billion.

China's Shoppers Expect Physical Stores to Mimic Online Experience - eMarketer. China’s increasingly sophisticated ecommerce environment is placing growing demands on retailers, both online and offline.

Because China’s consumers are more accustomed to shopping online—particularly via mobile devices—than they are shopping in-store, they expect the same types of digital and mobile-friendly benefits when they shop in the real world. When PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) asked internet users in China about the most important attributes of the in-store experience in September 2016, more than 70% of respondents said real-time, personalized offers, the second most popular answer. Another key attribute for in-store buying was the ability to see and order an extended range of products at the store, cited by 68.0% of respondents.

These responses suggest that many of the data-driven, real-time features mobile shoppers in China take for granted online are becoming expectations for the physical retail environment as well.
